THE 12th Haringey Box Cup finished on Sunday (June 16) at Alexandra Palace with another excellent showing for London’s Repton club, which won the team trophy for the third time in four years.
The Box Cup, the largest tournament in Europe, is a mammoth event. An impressive feat of organisation sees hundreds of boxers competing across five rings simultaneously on the first day of quarter-finals on Friday (June 14), down to four rings for the semifinals and finals, almost too much boxing to keep up with.
